hi, first of all im noob in what matter to linux.ive installed DSL in my harddrive, had no problemwith hardware, great dist so far.

still, i was downloading software such as ircII orXChat, i unpacked using Emelfm, then i used theterminal do /configure and make.

dunno why, but every time i try to configure, it saysthat the C compiler couldnt create the executables.

also, i tried using Make, but apparently this dist doesnot have it. i installed apt-get, i run the program andtried to download/install make, but at the end of thedownload, again, it gives me an error.. so i havent beenable to install make either.

could someone please explain me, or give me a urlwith docs or even some application to install the software?
